We had northern lights last night, but the sky was hazy so they weren’t very bright.  Today, the sky also has a light cover of clouds or smoke . . . . not sure which, but the sun is shining so it’s okay with me.  Temperatures are back into the summer range and I know this isn’t going to happen much longer.    My hanging flower baskets look wonderful, so I’ll keep them from the frost as long as possible.  We finally have rain in the forecast which we need badly.  I went out yesterday and watered my existing flowers, mainly my roses since they seem to bloom well into the frosty weather.
